THE NEW PANGEA

vikingo
There is a geological theory suggesting that in about 200-300 million years, the movement of tectonic plates will once again merge the current continents into a supercontinent, similar to what happened with Pangea around 300 million years ago.

This concept is part of the supercontinent cycle, where landmasses drift apart and reunite over hundreds of millions of years due to continental drift. Geologists have proposed several possible scenarios for this future supercontinent, with some of the most discussed being:

Pangea Proxima: A supercontinent that would form in the same region as the ancient Pangea.
Novopangea: Would emerge if the Atlantic continues to expand while the Pacific closes, pushing continents into a new union pattern.
Aurica: Would form if the Indian Ocean disappears and the current continents shift toward the equator.
Amasia: In this scenario, North America and Asia would merge near the North Pole.

Although this is an extremely slow process, scientists can predict it by measuring the movement of tectonic plates. So, if the planet is still standing in 250 million years, we might once again have a single continent.

A DETROIT NEIGHBORHOOD FREEZES OVER AFTER A MASSIVE FLOOD

It’s hard to look at the footage and not be reminded of the apocalyptic scenes from The Day After Tomorrow, where paleoclimatologist Jack Hall warns that global warming could trigger a sudden and catastrophic climate shift. Despite his pleas to politicians to take action, the disaster becomes inevitable.

After the video went viral on social media, many are left wondering how there are still people who believe climate change is just a hoax created by political elites to push an agenda and tighten control over the population. What else needs to happen? MY GOD, WHAT ELSE?!

THE WORLD'S FIRST FACTORY WHERE ALL WORKERS ARE HUMANOID ROBOTS

If the factories of the future are fully automated, like Zeekr’s in China, where humanoid robots do all the work, a big question arises: how will private companies make money if people aren’t working, don’t have incomes, and therefore can’t buy what those factories produce? Right now, the system works because workers earn a salary and spend it, but if robots take over everything, that cycle breaks.

The most talked-about solution is universal basic income, a kind of state-funded allowance so people can live without working. But here comes another paradox: if you get paid just for existing, what incentive is there to strive for more? Some might work to earn extra and improve their lifestyle, but those who rely solely on basic income will become the new poor. They won’t lack the essentials, but they won’t be able to aspire to anything more either. It would be like a modern-day rationing system—you can survive with the basics, but not really live well.

And here’s the key point: in any society, there will always be an elite. If factory owners lose control of the money because no one can afford to buy their products, the state will take over, deciding who gets what and under what conditions. Those who manage this system will become the new gods of Olympus, controlling everything while the rest simply depend on them. Whether it’s through big corporations or an all-powerful state, there will always be a few who hold the reins while the rest rely on whatever they decide.

So, who should govern us—the private sector or the state?

Neither one in absolute terms. If the private sector holds all the power, the relentless pursuit of profit could turn people into mere cogs in a machine designed to enrich the few. But trusting the state blindly isn’t the answer either, because history has shown that when bureaucrats and politicians take full control, things often slide into communist models that fail, suffocating individual freedom and crushing innovation.

The only viable path is balance. The private sector must continue driving progress, technology, and advancements in healthcare, education, and science—thanks to competition and financial incentives. But the state, as the voice of the people, must ensure that progress doesn’t come at the cost of our freedom or dignity. A system where innovation moves forward, but with enough oversight to prevent anyone from becoming a slave to it.

NARCISSISM AND SOCIALMEDIA VOL30

It's funny how when we see someone recording themselves in public, talking to their phone and exaggerating gestures, we feel a strong sense of secondhand embarrassment, yet that same video seems much more normal when we see it on social media. It might still make us cringe, but we process it differently. The key difference is that in real life, we don’t just feel discomfort—we perceive the person as ridiculous, out of place. On social media, even if they still seem absurd, the format smooths out that awkwardness and makes it easier to digest.

Editing, music, and dynamic cuts help frame the content in a way that fits the kind of media we consume daily, but if someone seems ridiculous, they’ll remain so, with or without filters.

Another factor is the break in reality. Watching someone film themselves strips away the illusion, like seeing a magician set up a trick before performing it. Then there’s the difference between witnessing something and being an audience—on the street, we feel like unwilling participants in something we didn’t choose to watch, whereas on social media, we’re already in consumer mode, so even if something makes us uncomfortable, it doesn’t trigger the same rejection.

Social dynamics also play a role. When we see someone recording in public, we share the secondhand embarrassment through glances or comments with whoever is next to us. But online, there's no external reinforcement, and we process it in a completely different way.

THE FUTURE OF ROBOTS AND THE EMPLOYMENT DILEMMA

It’s becoming increasingly clear that androids will soon be part of our daily lives, taking on household chores, grocery shopping, and even jobs in factories, logistics, and construction. Automation is advancing with the goal of reducing costs and increasing profits, but this raises a major issue: if robots take over our jobs, where will we get the money to live? If too many people are unemployed, who will buy the products these companies produce?

There are two possible scenarios. One is the creation of a new economic model, where automation forces the implementation of a universal basic income to ensure financial stability for those who can no longer find traditional jobs. This way, consumer spending remains active, and the economy avoids collapse.

The other scenario is a transformation of the job market. Just like the Industrial Revolution eliminated some jobs but created many others, automation could generate new professions we can’t yet imagine. Humans might shift towards creative fields, tech-driven roles, or industries where empathy and human interaction remain irreplaceable.

What’s clear is that if we want a future where robots make life easier without triggering social collapse, we must rethink the economic model. Technology is progressing, but without a strategy for adaptation, the risk of a consumption crisis is real.

WHAT WON’T A GRANDMA DO FOR HER GRANDDAUGHTER

The cultural clash between generations is undeniable, but in the end, you either adapt or at least tolerate it. There are things a grandmother would have never imagined in her youth, yet here she is, decades later, appearing in a video where her granddaughter is doing dances that would have scandalized half the neighborhood back in the day.

She doesn’t get it, and it’s not like she finds it amusing, but she’s also not about to start preaching about what’s right or wrong. Times change, younger generations do whatever they want, and older folks—though with that classic "this didn’t happen in my day" look—just shrug it off. You don’t always have to understand, sometimes you just accept that the world isn’t what it used to be and move on. After all, at this point, what’s the point?
